Fast, Reliable Service by Quick Attestation in Dubai

In today’s interconnected world, individuals and businesses frequently need to present U.S.-issued documents in the United Arab Emirates—whether for immigration, employment, education, legal matters, or corporate transactions. However, American documents are not automatically recognized in the UAE. To be valid, they must go through a formal legalization process.

If you’re looking for a fast and efficient way to legalize U.S. documents for UAE use, Quick Attestation in Dubai offers end-to-end support—saving you time, avoiding mistakes, and ensuring smooth approval.

What Is Document Legalization?

Legalization is the official process that confirms a foreign document is genuine and legally recognized by another country’s government or institution. Since the UAE is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, American documents must go through a multi-step legalization process before they are accepted here.

Which U.S. Documents Commonly Need Legalization for UAE?

Quick Attestation regularly helps with the legalization of various U.S. documents, including:

  • Birth, marriage, or divorce certificates
  • FBI background checks
  • Diplomas and academic transcripts
  • Power of attorney (POA)
  • Commercial invoices and certificates of origin
  • Business contracts, MoAs, or articles of incorporation
  • Court judgments or legal notices

Steps to Legalize U.S. Documents for Use in the UAE

Here’s how the process typically works:

1. Notarization in the U.S. (If Applicable)

Most documents need to be notarized by a U.S. notary public.

2. Certification by the Secretary of State

The notarized document must be certified by the Secretary of State in the U.S. state where it was issued.

3. Authentication by the U.S. Department of State

Documents are then sent to the Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C. for federal-level authentication.

4. Legalization by the UAE Embassy in Washington, D.C.

The UAE Embassy verifies and stamps the document, confirming its validity for UAE authorities.

5. Final Attestation by UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)

Once in the UAE, the document must receive final attestation from MOFA in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

Do You Need Certified Translation?

Yes—if the U.S. document is in English and will be submitted to an Arabic-speaking authority (like courts or immigration offices), a certified Arabic translation is usually required.
Quick Attestation provides professional legal translations, certified and approved for submission in the UAE.
